I am trying to start DSL from the dos prompt using loadlin. The knoppix/knoppix dir/file is on a usb stick. I can mount the usb stick from dos (even get a letter E: assigned to it). However.. when I start loadlin with a options.txt file, it tells me it cannot find root vfs. I noticed in the options.txt I have a parameter called 'BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix/knoppix'. How does loadlin know to look on my usb stick for knoppix? In theory, shouldn't the parameter be 'BOOT_IMAGE=E:\knoppix\knoppix' ? Or something like this?

My setup is a capio with a disk on chip (8mb) containting dos & loadlin. I have 2 gb usb stick with knoppix on it (located in a knoppix directory on the root of the stick) and the capio has 32mb of memory.

Hi,The capio thread doesnt help me much.. I followed all the instructions there. I turned off the quiet option.. No errors of any kind, just some hardware being found. I notice it makes a ramdisk 16 of 100.000 at 1024 blocksize.I expanded the memory of the capio to 64mb already.

I have a feeling it's trying to mount /dev/ram and is somehow unsuccessful...

Can I have root being put up somewhere else? How big does it have to be?
